Move objects in Camera window?

Hi,
It's a small thing, but it doesn't seem that one can move objects in the "camera" window. Am I missing something that you can do this?
Thanks.

I'm not sure I follow - are you working in an assembly? If so, you can only drag things around if you enable Options > System Options > Assemblies > Move components by dragging. Is that what you're looking for?

No... that works fine. It seems that every now and then when in the camera window I can't grab things (emitters for instance) and move them. Sometimes it works, sometimes not... I'm trying to reproduce it exactly...

I believe that is an issue with SolidWorks, not Maxwell. When you create a camera in SW, all the menus and functionality are from SW; Maxwell just reads what has already been created (at least that is my understanding).
Even if you don't have Maxwell running, you'll still have that issue. I'm guessing it's like that to make sure you don't screw up your assembly when you're just trying to adjust the camera.
